How the written check works now
- 50 questions in sentences (no pictures).
- Answer each one true (○) or false (×).
- 30 minutes.
- Pass mark: 45 correct (90%).
- Offered in many languages; which ones depends on the centre.
Why people fail now
The questions use small traps: one word like “always”, an exception, or an exact number (5 m, 30 m, 3 seconds). Getting 9 out of 10 right is not enough if you guess on the hard ones. Practise until you are scoring 48 or more.

Driving test: where people lose points
- Not checking the blind spot (turn your head) before moving off, changing lanes and turning.
- Left turns: not moving close to the left edge first, then turning slowly along the edge of the intersection.
- Right turns: not moving close to the centre line beforehand, or not turning just inside the centre of the intersection (wait there for oncoming traffic).
- At a stop sign (止まれ): not stopping completely at the stop line, then stopping again where you can see.
- Signalling late: signal 30 m before a turn, 3 seconds before a lane change.
- Crossings: not slowing down or not stopping for a pedestrian who may cross.
- Railway crossings: not stopping before the crossing and checking left and right with the window open.
